The Inn On First

This is really a 4.5-star review, but since I can't do that on TripAdvisor, I rounded up. Just back from a long weekend stay in Napa at the Inn on First. This is a B&B in the City of Napa. The location is pretty good, given that the Main Street area is walking distance at about 0.5 miles from the Inn. We managed to walk to dinner two of the three nights there. The host and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent, far surpassing any sort of continental style breakfast. It was cooked to order, including a different special each day. Also included in breakfast were juices, coffee, fresh cut fruit. Rooms were reasonably appointed, including a jetted tub in at least some of them (I only saw 3...including a heart-shaped tub in one...so I can't confirm that all have them). Ours had a fireplace in it, which was nice given the chilly temperatures that hit the Valley during our visit. What keeps this from being a perfect 5.0 are really small details. Ultimately, they didn't detract from our stay, but I note them as I know it will affect how others view the Inn on a more significant level. The Inn just needs a good dose of TLC. The sisal carpet on the stairs displayed a lot of fraying and probably should be replaced throughout the main building. Handles in the shower were damaged. There was rust that had dripped from hinges onto the baseboard. Things like that. Ultimately, it didn't affect the say, as I noted, but they were noticeable. I'm sorry that we did not get to enjoy their patio area alongside the Inn, but the weather certainly did not cooperate for that. To sum up...usually I'm not of a B&B person as I prefer the repeatability of a more established chain hotel, but I did enjoy the stay at the Inn, and I would definitely stay there again on my next trip to Napa, which I think is the best endorsement I could make - repeat business.

We went in the first weekend of the new year for a quick get away. The inn on first was a surprise. We stayed in the vintage reserve suite. The room was spacious and had updated amenities. The cherry on top was the breakfast, really tasty and great personal service with attention to detail. We would gladly stay there again and recommend it to other couples.

Everything was wonderful. The breakfast was excellent, the bed was so comfortable, and the snickerdoodle cookies were delicious! Rooms were clean. Quick walk into town. We will be recommending Inn on First to anyone we know that is looking to visit Napa!

Quick weekend getaway, we wanted ease of parking and a great breakfast. Both were had here along with a warm welcome of champagne, and greeting by first name. Easy check in, charming spacious rooms, and wifi, large TV, ac cooled room, and comfortable linens. Oh, did I mention cookies? Delicious! Coffee was a special blend just for them and it tasted great.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by the hostess with smiles and a champagne offering. Our room was lovely with a front yard view. Although we dined alone for breakfast, our server was very accommodating and the chef outdid herself. We will be back again for sure.
